Here are our debate questions for Harris and Trump
PoliticoTaxes Question for both candidates: Both of you have proposed tax cuts that would cost trillions of dollars in federal revenue. Trump has called Biden’s student debt plans “vile.” His running mate JD Vance, in a post on X, labeled student loan forgiveness a “massive windfall to the rich, to the college educated” and “corrupt university administrators of America.” — Rebecca Carballo Trade Question for Trump: You’ve said you want to impose a universal tariff of 10 percent to 20 percent, plus even stiffer trade penalties on China, but it will be difficult to win approval for that from Congress. Question for Harris: Would you continue Biden’s de facto ban on new tariff-easing free trade agreements with foreign countries? Trump had scrapped an earlier, Obama-era version of the rule in 2020 in an attempt to woo suburban voters, accusing Democrats of trying to “abolish the suburbs.” Under the Biden administration’s version, states and localities would be required to submit “equity plans” to the Department of Housing and Urban Development every five years detailing their strategies to combat housing discrimination. — Victoria Guida Labor policies Question for Trump: You’ve claimed to be a pro-worker candidate, yet your administration rolled back many labor protections enacted during the Obama administration, such as making it more difficult for unions to organize, narrowing overtime pay requirements and making it easier for employers to classify workers as independent contractors, who have fewer workplace protections.
